We all generate our own cartographies—spatial images documenting lost places, hidden byways, who we were at that time, that place.

What if Achilles & Patroclus had written secret love poems to each other? My new collection gives voice to these legendary heroes. Agents who seek greek mythology, think: Call Me By Your Name meets The Iliad

Sombras sobre el retrato de Dorian Gray

Un fanfic inspirado en la obra de Oscar Wilde, donde lo gótico se mezcla con el deseo, el arte y la decadencia.

📍París, siglo XIX.

Dorian, tan bello como peligroso.

Basil, atrapado entre la devoción y la culpa.

Devon, un forastero que irrumpe en sus vidas como una herida abierta.

Una historia de seducción, celos y placeres oscuros.

Si te gustan los triángulos intensos, los vínculos complejos y la estética literaria, este fanfic es para vos.

It’s September, so the trees are still green and the sun is so gentle it makes me feel whole and human.

Billy-Ray Belcourt, "Lived Experience" from Coexistence

The whole Abrahamic world invests itself in this promise: Don’t lie, don’t cheat, don’t fuck or steal or kill, and you’ll be a good person. Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing any good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing. That belief corrupts everything, has everyone with any power sitting on their hands.

Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!

I thought of how the world can be anything and how sad it is that it’s this.
